Publisher's Summary

This New York Times best seller was the inspiration for the first season of American Crime Story on FX, starring Cuba Gooding, Jr.; John Travolta; David Schwimmer; and Connie Britton.

The definitive account of the O. J. Simpson trial, The Run of His Life is a prodigious feat of reporting that could have been written only by the foremost legal journalist of our time. First published less than a year after the infamous verdict, Jeffrey Toobin's nonfiction masterpiece tells the whole story, from the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman to the ruthless gamesmanship behind the scenes of "the trial of the century". Rich in character, as propulsive as a legal thriller, this enduring narrative continues to shock and fascinate with its candid depiction of the human drama that upended American life.

Please note: This audiobook is a recording of the original 1996 edition of The Run of His Life. It does not include an Afterword added to the 2013 reissued edition.

What a Mess!

I was just a kid when the OJ Simpson trial happened,. but I do remember how important and just EVERYWHERE it was for that year.

What an absolute disaster of a defense. I'm not so naive as to believe other factors don't play in the decisions of major cases like these (even if it should be the simple matter of guilty or not guilty), but OJ Simpson was really the worst "symbol/martyr of Black America" that could have been chosen. And I think has proven that today. He's did nothing worthwhile with his freedom and he certainly didn't support the community that looked up to him.

What a waste of everyone's faith and time.
